11.2 Ausgezeichnet.org
Note on review verification
On May 28, 2022, a change in the law came into force that introduces a new information obligation for online retailers (the so-called Omnibus Directive). Since then, retailers must provide information about whether and, if so, how they ensure the authenticity of reviews. Accordingly, reviews may only come from consumers who have actually purchased the reviewed products.
Despite careful controls, AUSGEZEICHNET.org cannot always guarantee that reviews are genuine, especially when reviews from other platforms over which we have no influence are integrated into our seal. We therefore recommend displaying a corresponding notice.
We have placed such a notice on your public review profile and included a link to it in all seal graphics. This is intended to prevent (costly) warnings from competitors or consumer protection agencies in the interest of our customers.
Important information about the quality and Google relevance of reviews
The following information is only relevant for you if you use Google Ads and want to include your collected reviews (so-called seller ratings) as stars.
Google distinguishes between three types of reviews – depending on when a review is submitted:
Unsolicited: Reviews submitted unsolicited by your customers, e.g. via your public profile page.
Point of Sale: Reviews submitted directly after purchasing/ordering/booking a product or service.
After Fulfillment: Reviews that are only submitted after delivery/contract fulfillment.
Currently (as of May 2021), Google only considers 'after fulfillment' reviews relevant for ads, as customers have already been able to make a well-founded assessment of the product and/or service.
All other reviews – i.e. 'Unsolicited' and 'Point-of-Sale' – are not considered by Google for their ads.
Please note: Google periodically conducts test reviews with customers to verify that the method chosen to collect reviews matches the submitted review type. If Google detects any discrepancies, this could result in significant penalties that could negatively impact your Google ranking. Therefore, it's in your best interest to exercise due diligence and choose the method for sending review requests that best suits your needs.
